Each AP Exam score is a weighted combination of the student's scores on the multiple-choice section and the free-response section.
The final score is reported on a 5-point scale:
5 = extremely well qualified
4 = well qualified
3 = qualified
2 = possibly qualified
1 = no recommendation
Language Course vs. Literature Course: What is the essential difference?:
An AP course in English Language and Composition engages students in becoming skilled readers of prose written in a variety of rhetorical contexts, and in becoming
skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. Both their writing and their
reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes,
audience expectations, and subjects, as well as the way genre conventions and the
resources of language contribute to effectiveness in writing.
An AP English Literature and Composition course engages students in the careful
reading and critical analysis of imaginative literature. Through the close reading of
selected texts, students deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language
to provide both meaning and pleasure for their readers. As they read, students consider
a work’s structure, style and themes, as well as such smaller-scale elements as the
use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism and tone.
